I'm thinking that i should have got a 4X4 instead of a 4X2.  I mostly drive on the paved roads, but I may take the truck to the mountains for skiing.  Will the Titan be ok in snow?  I'm not a snow person, but people always say that FWD is better.  Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

rear wheel drive is definitely tricky in the snow and especially in a pickup which has less weight in the bed which doesnt help.  I'd say get used to how the truck will move around in slippery conditions then decide if you want to chance a trip up to the mountains.

I would think with the VCD you would be better than a normal truck ?

I was thinking of buying an ARE or Leer truck top and throw luggage in the back, etc.  I also was considering snow chains (when needed).

I had the same delima... however.. being in SoCal...  trips to the snow might be once a year so I decided against it.

I put (4) 70lbs bags in my Hardbody I got from Lowes or Home Depot that are made for the snow traction for pickups. They are sealed and in heavy nylon materail. I mite add one for the Titan.
